Game 1
Jeff with the Ret (Always Ret for round one in Sydney, not sure what's going on there).
It's Issyria or eVyros with Griffins. There's no way he'll drop Griffons, just as there is no way I'll drop Bart, the selections were inevitable.
Lost the roll, given second, picked the side without the forest as I have more Pathfinder issues than him and there are hills on the other side. Marginal differences in this match up though.
Feated on bottom of 1 and ran those Kayazy up. Lessons have been learnt!
Issyria waits out the feat turn, then feats back to kill things in the mosh pit.
After both sides have lost a fair chunk of infantry, Hyperion charges in on Galleon, taking out a side. Opposing Eiryss runs up for the Arcane Interference nonsense. Gorman rust bombs, Ragman Dark Shrouds, MacBain! uses Jackhammer to badly the Hyperion and throws Countermeasures from the vastly reduced Kayazy to Alexia. Alexia then charges in and finishes the Hyperion off. Galleon then walks up and kills some of MHSF. Glorious.
Discordia, MHA and MHSF try to finish Galleon off. All fail and Ret get chewed away.
After clearing out the last guy in the zone, Objective is killed and MacBain! Dominates away.
My clock on the left.

Grade: A (46)
Game 2
Loud Chris, eIrusk or eSorscha. Didn't have a good handle on this matchup, that was not a pairing I was expecting. In hindsight eIrusk was the necessary drop for the armour cracking, as Bart was my likely choice without a Butcher3 to deal with. Irusk had all the Pikes, Sorscha had the WGI.
Lost roll, given first turn, ran on one, didn't move far enough on two, jammed out of zone and lost. Completely spaced on Irusks feat knocking off Speed. Did random shots when turn 2 I should have just gotten my Galleons toeing hte zones, in IFP charge range but then able to hopefully kill some important stuff. Ternion clouds were an issue.
Would MacBain!, my nominal Khador drop have been better?
Distinctly....maybe? Feat keeps me going for a turn, but I don't out-attrition. Thought to be given.
Player Grading

Grade:C (28)
Game 3
Aaron with eDenny or pSkarre. Expecting the Denny drop on Close Quarters, I defaulted to Bart. After the game I thought this might have been an error, in hindsight I think MacBain! is a bad match to, I hold for a turn but Dark Guidance easily kills the Kayazy after feat turn. There was no Hag so I do get the feat turn. Imph.
Early on snipe out the no-sleeping-on-job chicks, so feat in a relevant manner.
Galleon gets Backlash, Satyxis slowly feedback Bart to death. Sadness.
Player Grading
Time Management: 8, no issues but wasn't going to pull ahead.
Scenario Awareness: 5, dead scenario game.
Spacing and Placement: 6, opening moves decent, then downhill.
Target Priority: 8, good choices overall, difficulties later on.
Effectiveness: 7, used reasonable dice math, some poor choices overall.
Cool: 5, struggled what to do after opening phase.
Grade: B (39)
Game 4
Evan with Gorten and Durgen. Didn't realise at selection, but he was list locked into Gorten. Wouldn't have changed selection of MacBain!
Given first turn, on turn 2 I feat and jam the Kayazy in.
After attritioning for a while, I get an Eiryss bomb on the Earthbreaker. Kell and Orin fail to get rid of two hammer dorfs as tough rolls from the Piper keep them blocking the Galleons run. Forced to use both Gorman and Ragman to get it done. Galleon then runs to the Earthbreaker and gets Jackhammered four times, taking out a side. Those toughs saved both its life and/or it be blinded.
Gorten charges up, feat drags MacBain up and Counter Measured Kayazy away. Earthbreaker toddles forward and kills MacBain with its final attack.
Evan had 37 seconds on his clock to my 20 minutes.
